Property Brothers Buying and Selling source Sunpan products

THE EPISODE

On this episode of Property Brothers Buying and Selling, Jonathan and Drew know their clients Julie and Paul need to find a new, forever home for their growing family. The challenge? Julie and Paul didn’t want to be burdened with a bigger mortgage.

THE OLD

Upon entering the old home, viewers can quickly identify the main challenges: a tight foyer, a tiny kitchen with lack of storage, a small dining room and a cluttered living room. Other issues also included poor ventilation, dated tiling, a picture rail throughout the living room, and uninviting paint colour.

THE NEW

While Drew was out showing Julie and Paul potential new homes, Jonathan had his work cut out. Opening up the space and staging the home with sophisticated furniture would significantly increase the value of the home.

THE LIVING ROOM UPDATE

In order to create a distinct living room space, Jonathan had to remove portions of a wall. He also installed new flooring throughout the main floor, gave the walls a fresh coat of paint, and furnished the living room with a number of Sunpan pieces. This living room transformed from toddler chaos to entertaining paradise.

What was once cluttered and dark became clean and bright. Updated white cabinetry and countertops elevated the space. For a perfect modern touch, a wall was removed and a breakfast bar featuring our Bancroft adjustable barstools was installed.

A clear flow between the kitchen and dining room was also created after removing the wall which exuded freshness with Sunpan’s Tista dining table featuring a glass tabletop, and Natalia dining chairs in a blue fabric. The Shimmer art piece was a perfect tie-in with the décor and design of this space.
